In the third over of Australia’s first innings, Jasprit Bumrah bowled with remarkable energy and precision. On the fifth delivery, he induced a thick outside edge from Marnus Labuschagne, creating a golden opportunity. The ball flew to Virat Kohli’s right at second slip, but he failed to grab it, missing a crucial chance to dismiss Labuschagne for a duck. Capitalizing on his luck, Labuschagne went on to craft a significant innings.
Meanwhile, Kohli’s fortunes took a turn for the worse as he managed to score just 5 runs before being dismissed in India’s first innings. The missed catch, coupled with Kohli’s underwhelming performance, has sparked heated debates and criticism across social media platforms.
